The new Prime Minister Gabriel Attal was on his way to the Caen market in Calvados on Sunday to talk about purchasing power. The Prime Minister strolled through this large market located near the port of Caen to discuss the purchasing power of the French while food prices remain high.
Gabriel Attal, day 5. Since his appointment, the Prime Minister has not stopped traveling. After the hospital in Dijon and the school in Yvelines, this Sunday, the former Minister of Education headed to the market in Caen, in Calvados. For the occasion, Europe 1 went to the site.
“Get them out of poverty, particularly through work”
On this Caen market, Gabriel Attal multiplies handshakes and selfies. Questioned about immigration law, he responds bluntly to this passerby who came to meet him. “When you see the migrant camp, how can we accept that?” she asked the Prime Minister. “You know, for years, it was also a lot of hypocrisy because there were already these situations. And there was no law that made it possible to take this in hand and ensure that we have better organization. Because in the end, letting people come to our soil, with a form of mirage, knowing very well that we will not be able to welcome them, is not doing them any favors either “, replied Gabriel Attal.
A few steps further, it is on purchasing power that the new Prime Minister is expected while demonstrators try to approach. “What is my priority? It is indeed the middle classes who work and who can count neither on social assistance nor on a particularly powerful heritage to help them. And then, I want the people who are in If necessary, we can get them out of poverty, particularly through work,” said the head of government on site. No announcement, but two hours of wandering, Gabriel Attal seeks to imprint his style, that of a Prime Minister above all on the ground.
